Murree

White City

A popular getaway from Islamabad on the southern slopes of the Western Himalayas, Murree lies in the Margalla Hills in the Pir Panjal Range. A former colonial town built by the British to escape the bustle of the city, Murree still has an air of a packed resort town, and offers relief from the heat at an average altitude of 2,291 m (7,516 ft). The main attractions in Murree are natural scenery and its refreshing atmosphere, and visitors have lots of opportunities to hike and picnic. Take a chairlift to an observation point or visit the purported grave of Mary, mother of Jesus, after which the town gets its name. A golf course and an amusement park offer fun and leisure activities on a holiday in Murree. Our Pakistan vacation planner combines visitor reviews with your personal interests to make an itinerary informed by experts, but tailored to suit your style.
